Asian great Park Ji-sung poised for 100th cap

DOHA - One of Asia's greatest players will add another accolade to his already impressive resume on Tuesday when he wins his 100th cap for South Korea in its Asian Cup semifinal against arch-rivals Japan.

Manchester United's Park Ji-sung, who rose to prominence under Dutch coach Guus Hiddink at the 2002 World Cup, said it meant all the more to achieve the feat at a top international event.

"Obviously it will be a great honor to play the 100th game for the national team in a major tournament like the Asian Cup," said the 29-year-old.
